Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 398: Chapter 205: Liu Yuan Severely Injured; Strange Master and Servant [Requesting Monthly Votes]

To condense the sword embryo of the Canglan Flying Sword, one must rely on the water transport.

The Cloud Sea is also heavenly water.

The Cloud Sea beneath Tianzhu Peak is deep enough, large enough, so one can condense a flying sword embryo here. The Li Family named this sword embryo the ”Cloud Palace Sword.”

The best time to condense the Cloud Palace Sword is on a full moon night, when a Cloud Sea vortex will appear in the Cloud Sea beneath Tianzhu Peak.

That moment is the best time to condense the sword embryo.

When Ji Yuan came earlier, he had already calculated the date.

When he arrived at Tianzhu Peak, it was April 10th, five days until the Cloud Sea vortex of this month.

These five days are just enough for him to calm his mind and enter the state of condensing the sword embryo.

...

Four days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day,

A master and servant duo came to the top of Tianzhu Peak, where the master was a young man in a white robe, handsome and outstanding, with a jade token in the shape of an old turtle hanging around his neck.

He appeared to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, but his cultivation was already at the late stage of Qi Cultivation.

Unless it was within the Six Great Immortal Sects, outside, he would be called a dragon among men anywhere.

And the hunched old servant behind him was a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The faint pressure he exuded made the surrounding crowd avoid them.

Those who were sensible cupped their hands in salute.

Everyone was guessing in their hearts, speculating which cultivation family these two came from.

Even if you combined the big cities near Tianzhu Peak, there were few families that could have a Foundation Establishment cultivator as a guard.

Unless they’re from a Golden Core Family.

But there are none near Tianzhu Peak, so they probably came from a very distant place.

Due to the impending Cloud Sea vortex, many cultivators had already come to admire the view.

After arriving here, this master and servant gradually climbed the mountain, finally reaching the Immortal Residence Pavilion at the peak.

Those who could enjoy the view here were all Foundation Establishment cultivators.

When they saw this newly arrived master and servant... with a Foundation Establishment cultivator as a follower, they all smiled and greeted them.

The young man smiled and returned the courtesy.

Finally, the stooped old servant stepped forward, came to the best vantage point in the middle, before the mid-stage Foundation Establishment man, and slowly said:

”Fellow cultivator, may I ask you to give up your seat?”

”Oh? Why?”

The man seemed to be both amused and angered by this; it’s one thing to disregard the order of arrival, but even the most basic etiquette and pleasantry were missing. Just demanding the seat... Is this how you acknowledge someone?

”Because my young master wishes to enjoy the view.”

The old servant, as if unaware of the man’s displeasure, continued speaking unhurriedly.

Seeing that the man was about to get angry,

The old servant offered a storage bag. The man’s divine sense instinctively swept over it, then forcibly swallowed the angry words that reached his lips.

Just when everyone thought the man would take the storage bag, accept the ”toll” and leave, they saw he dared not even accept the storage bag but directly turned and left.

He even summoned a flying boat to leave at full speed.

The old servant slowly put away the storage bag, then gestured invitingly towards the newly vacated prime viewing spot, ”Young Master, please.”

The young man naturally stepped forward, said nothing, just watched the clouds roll and unroll in the sky.

The others saw this strange master and servant pair and dared not speak further.

The more cautious ones frowned, stepped behind others, ready to leave at any moment.

Fortunately, after claiming the high ground, the master and servant pair didn’t react further, just stared in fascination at the horizon’s view, like petrified statues.

They watched from daytime to night, then from night to day.

On the fifteenth of April,

The monthly Cloud Sea vortex of Tianzhu Peak finally arrived.

Initially, there were slight ripples in the Cloud Sea to the south of Tianzhu Peak, like a breeze stirring a spring pool. As the crowd exclaimed, the young man seemed to sense something, lowering his gaze towards the mountain foot.

The old servant’s voice then sounded in his mind.

”Master, it’s his aura!”

”Hmm.”

The young man’s expression remained calm as he transmitted, ”He was a legendary figure back then, it would be strange if he left no legacy at all.”

”Shall I go and retrieve him for a look?”

The old servant spoke again.

This time, the young man didn’t transmit back. He clasped his hands in sleeves and perked up slightly. ”While walking on the road, you don’t have to catch every pretty butterfly to inspect it closely. Sometimes, a cursory glance from afar is enough.”

”Yes, I understand, Master.”

The old servant transmitted his agreement.

The young man turned to look at him, suddenly wearing a slight smile, ”Then tell me, what have you understood?”

Beside them, the cultivators who had been somewhat close now found them increasingly strange as one transmitted and the other spoke. They promptly backed away from the Immortal Residence Pavilion’s peak.

The old servant paid no mind, continuing to transmit, ”We know the legacy is here, that’s enough. No need to concern or involve ourselves.”

”No.”

The young man shook his head.

”What I mean is, we can wait, wait for him to come out and take a look.”

”This...yes.”

The old servant was somewhat embarrassed.

The young man then explained, ”If he’s at the point of breakthrough, capturing him would only create enmity. Why needlessly make so many enemies?”

”Are you living too long or something?”

”But if you wait for him to come out of seclusion and offer some advice, enmity turns to affinity. On the path to immortality, it’s better to foster connections, make alliances rather than enemies.”
